Glam & Grow - Beauty Business Podcast

Dolce Glow, founded by celebrity tanning artist Isabel Alysa, is a clean, luxury self-tanning line that blends beauty with wellness. Isabel’s journey began with her own confidence boost after her first spray tan, which inspired her to dedicate her career to helping others feel radiant in their skin. Raised in foster care and leaving home at 17 with only a backpack, she turned resilience into a driving force, eventually working with stars like Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, and Selena Gomez. In 2021, she launched Dolce Glow, which has since expanded into Nordstrom, Ulta, and QVC. Most recently, she introduced Sunnee BaeSkin in 2025—a skincare-first tanning line infused with marine-powered ingredients and designed to be more accessible to a younger audience. Beyond her brands, Isabel created the Dolce Glow & Grow Summit to mentor and empower aspiring beauty entrepreneurs. Her story is one of grit, vision, and the belief that beauty can transform both confidence and lives. In this episode, Isabel also discusses: * Surviving neglect, overcoming abuse, and finding strength * The importance of mental health in achieving success * From instagram DM’s to spray tanning Kylie Jenner * The power of organic product promotion * Building two brands and doubling her customer base * The confidence a great spray tan can build (and no, you don’t have to be orange) * Spray tan education and continuing to teach across the US We hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Isabel's journey and the growth of Dolce Glow & Sunnee BaeSkin.

Victoria Jackson, the original creator and pioneer of the term No Makeup Makeup—and owner of the trademark—has spent decades shaping the way women think about beauty. Starting as a makeup artist in the 1980s, she sparked a movement that celebrated natural beauty and empowered women to feel confident in their own skin. She went on to found Victoria Jackson Cosmetics, the first cosmetics brand sold on television, achieving an unprecedented $1 million in sales in its first week and ultimately driving over $1 billion in revenue through 13 groundbreaking infomercials and a decade on QVC. After stepping away from the industry to focus on her family, Victoria made a triumphant return in 2024 with the launch of No Makeup Makeup—the brand—bringing a new era of clean, effortless beauty. Anchored by 13 inclusive shades of a 7-in-1 Foundation with proprietary FlexShade Technology™ and a precision-matched brush, the line is designed to enhance rather than mask. When it debuted on QVC in January 2025, it generated $1 million in just 24 hours, proving the enduring power of Victoria’s vision. Today, No Makeup Makeup continues to redefine beauty standards, showing that true radiance comes from confidence, not heavy layers of product. In this episode, Victoria also discusses: * Pioneering the “no makeup makeup” movement during the 80s * Her famous “half-face” demonstrative marketing  * When you look better, you feel better * The importance of shade selection * Why wearing more makeup ages you * Turning challenges into opportunities * Expanding the line into blushes and lipsticks We hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Victoria's journey and the growth of www.nomakeupmakeup.com [https://nomakeupmakeup.com/].

When Miranda Kerr was just 16, her mother’s cancer diagnosis became a turning point prompting her to look closely at what she was putting in and on her body. That moment sparked a lifelong passion for holistic health and organic living, ultimately becoming the seed for KORA Organics. As a supermodel, Miranda spent years in the makeup chair—constantly exposed to products that prioritized quick results over clean ingredients. Frustrated by the lack of skincare that was both certified organic and truly effective, she decided to create her own. After three years of collaboration with leading chemists in the natural space, KORA launched in 2009 with a bold mission: to deliver high-performance skincare powered by uncompromised ingredients and grounded in wellness. Every formula meets the strictest global standards and is supercharged with antioxidants—thanks to sustainable harvesting methods that are kinder to your skin and the planet. Today, KORA is available in over 40 countries and remains rooted in Miranda’s original vision: skincare that supports your glow, inside and out. In this episode, Miranda also discusses: * Inspired by noni fruit & her grandma’s natural remedies * Infusing products with rose quartz for energy & intention * Being fully certified organic, not just “clean”  * Uses plant-based retinol alternatives like bakuchiol & acai * Self-funding the brand and being deeply involved in every product * The importance of consistency in your routine * Having the brand stand alone without her attachment * Fun fact, Miranda writes her own copy!

ERLY was founded by two friends and mothers—dermatologist Dr. Hallie McDonald and Jamie Chandlee—who saw firsthand the rising pressure their daughters faced from the overwhelming beauty industry.

In this episode, Dr. Hallie McDonald also discusses: * The damage trendy skincare products were causing and how she set out to do better * Why less is more when it comes to skincare * How to build confidence and good habits early * The importance of peptides and how they’re safe, yet effective * The ability to customize your skincare with their mixing tool We hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Dr. Hallie McDonald’s journey and the growth of www.itserly.com [https://itserly.com/].
